Testing for Ingress Protection of Portable Electronic Devices

摘要

Today's consumers expect to be able to use their full-featured mobile devices anywhere, whether they are skiing on top of a mountain, talking on the phone while running through a rainstorm, or taking underwater pictures in the Caribbean. They also expect these devices to be small and lightweight, and most of these devices have audio components that require one or more openings in their housings to enable sound waves to be transmitted. Testing devices for ingress protection is one of the essential elements of the engineering cycle to ensure they can withstand the environmental conditions they encounter.
